You create a long, black stick.

You create a long, black stick.

[59316] Small Orchard [ NOBITS ] [ Forest ][T 59302]
The garden continues around the edges of several rows of smaller trees, and
the dense forests of Abanasinia encircle the entire orchard to the east and
west. Upon these smaller trees, various flowers or fruit can be seen. They
seem very well taken care of, almost as though an aspect of nature were here to
help them grow. To the north, the path leads back through the garden.
Southward, a wooden building can be seen, built around a large tree.

( 2) [6506] There is a long, black stick lying here.
Object 6506 and 6507 have the same name, but are not the same item, one is a staff, the other is a light. It makes a lot more sense for me for such items to not stack in ones inventory and when on the floor and to compare object vnums when deciding whether to stack them or not as opposed to comparing object names like it appears to be doing at the moment.
